Hey!! Hope you are still checking this post. I read that sometimes your water bag repair itself and fills back up. That's a thought. Hope you are doing ok.

First, sorry that you ate going through this. But I'm going to be honest. When your water break, you are open. And it's easy to set up infection to harm yourself or the baby. That may be why the doctor is saying that it will cause problems to keep her. I had a family member go through this as well. Her doctor let her keep her baby inside for maybe a well after her water broke at 24 weeks. Baby survived. But they did have to keep her on meds and she still set up an infection which made her unable to deliver vaginally. She had c.section. She did get sick, but they helped her and now both mom and baby are fine. In this situation, it is hard to know what is right and what is not. Trust God, and make sure that your doctors are LISTENING to you. Gif bless.

Hey, I'm very sorry to hear that! I hope that all work out for you and the baby. I think if the shoes were on my feet, I would pray and leave it up to  the all mighty! I know it may sound very bland coming from a person who had never experience such thing, but its not much we can do a mother carrying our children. I hope to hear  back from you with an update, good or bad! This whole process is up to God! I wish the best for you!
